Increasingly difficult problems are presented by ships of 50,000 tons dw and above; wave and sea action cause draft of 50,000 tons dw vessel to increase about 1 ft/degree of roll; for large ships maximum roll probably will be 5°, with resultant increase in draft of about 5 ft; channel and model basin squat observations indicate that bow waves precede vessel in restricted channels, to distance far beyond previous beliefs; maneuverability also is affected. From paper before API Annual Tanker Conference, 1961.
